[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] achyut:
i have tried most of the custom ROMS and one thing is common - the camera nd camcorder DO NOT produce good pictures as the stock 2.1 update1 camera. :rolleyes:

moreover, the stock camcorder has "continuous auto-focus" feature which none of the customs ROM have.:cool:

the camera works in most roms but there is a FC issue in the stock 2.1 camcorder...can anyone of you get a grip of that???

am on Froyobread 023d and am looking forward for a positive reply from you all.

:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] feyce:
I face the same issue.

Wait for ages bro, but I don't think anyone would care about this, i posted the very same problem about 4 month ago... a noone replied, but who knows, maybe this time...

This is the ONLY reason I don't use custom roms... maybe everyone else is happy with a half-working cam-_-
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] achyut:
hey...i got a workaround :)

grab LgcamPro v 5.95 from net and use it "only" as a camcorder (set the focus mode as "semi - continuous") and voila!! u get "continuous auto-focus" back during recording videos.....use the stock 2.1update1 camera as ur photo cam and LGCamPRo5.95 as ur videocam :) :) :)

If you dont want to save the chat history, there is an option to "off record chat" which will not save the chat.

Does anybody know of an app that keeps your frequency in the status bar? Id rather just have it there but if it has to be in notifications too that'd be just dandy.

cd's or tapes?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AproSamurai:
I went searching on Google for you and found CPU Usage Monitor on the Android Market and it says it is in the statusbar on the description. :) Hope it's of some help there is a free version and a paid one.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnowdapowda:
Almost does what I want... unfortunately I really just want one that shows my current frequency. This one shows the usage percentage. Thanks though man I've been tearing up the market looking for this and I appreciate the help! Process monitor widget used to have a feature like this but I can't get it to work with the new version.

cd's or tapes?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnowdapowda:
If you do a market search for pmw icons frequency you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. But I have the paid version (its now called "system tuner") and I can't get it to show.

Hi Guys,

I've made a Ferrari Customization pack, as the title says it contains Ferrari Italia Wallpaper, Boot Sound & Boot Animation.

Installation is simple. Just flash ferrari-****.zip through recovery & enjoy.

Note: Backup your original files before flashing this.

I've made 2 versions one for stock ROMs, one for custom ROMs as i've not seen custom ROMs having support for boot sound.

I am also trying to figure out a way to include Ringtone + Notification in the same package (Suggestions / guide required for this part).

I've tested this on Stock Gingerbread + CM7

For Stock ROMs:

[Motorola Photon 4G] manekineko:
I had been disappointed the camera app didn't apparently support tap to focus. Turns out it has something similar, just hidden behind an awkward user interface.

You can slide the focus box in the middle with your finger to whatever you want to focus on.

I thought I had explored the app pretty thoroughly, but didn't find that one until I read the review of the Photon on Phonescoop.
[Motorola Photon 4G] twospirits:
If i am not mistaken (and usually i am) lol, I thought I was able to do that as well on my EVO 4G running MikG. I don't have my EVO with me at the moment here at work, but I'll see once i get home. Either way, good to know.

Thanks for the tip.

Edit: just checked with my sis and nope I must have imagined it doing that.

TS out
[Motorola Photon 4G] redhatter:
OK so whatever you move the box to center on is the point of auto focus for the photo....very cool !
[Motorola Photon 4G] irev210:
now, how do we turn off the extremely annoying shutter sound?
[Motorola Photon 4G] nezb:
Even with manually adjusting the focus, have you noticed that this camera is particularly bad at taking close-up photos? My Nexus One never had a blurry or out-of-focus photo, but for some reason the camera on my new Photon takes crap pictures. I've even tried the macro mode and it still looks terrible. This is at about 4 inches away from the object being photographed. I tried in various different light settings too. :(
[HTC Sensation] TEKHD:
S-off & rooted, next step dual boot wp7 & android (WP7 Development Section)

So... Any developers out there willing to create a WP7 ROM for the HTC Sensation? Just making a note of the possibilities for this "Next Generation HD2"

No WP7 Development Section?
[HTC Sensation] anarchyuk:
This has already been suggested and is very unlikely to happen (not to say impossible)... the hd2 has the same cpu and the same hardware as other wp7 phones, it is totally closed source so the gpu on the qualcom has no drivers available at all, then theres the rest like bt stack. mic etc... its hard enough porting open source android to old 528mhz qualcom phones never mind a closed source os!

I would like to see it happen just for the proof of concept but i know how hard it is writing drivers with the I/O specs sheets so dont hold out much hope ;-D
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
I don't know if this is possible. The HD2 was a 'special case' as the stock OS was WM6.5. This a base for installing WP7, as the base OS for WM6.5 and WP7 are generally the same, as I understand it. This means that WP7 could be ported to the HD2, as it didn't need all the drivers and stuff.

But with the Sensation, WM6.5 was not the stock OS, of course. So if we wanted to get WP7 on the Sensation, we'd need to create drivers for it , which if at all possible would be a long and laborious process, as WP7 is not open source, as Android is.

Having said that, I'd love it if someone could prove me wrong and we could get a WP7 port up and running :)
[HTC Sensation] Rouz.:
Won't happen. Dual core processor is not supported in WP7

[HTC Sensation] freakzone:
I think I will soon scrap the sensation and get the ultimate device - HD2 - android, winmo, meego, ubuntu linux.
[HTC Sensation] Enzopreme:
Ultimate device? You can't be serious.....

Sent from my Tmous Virtuous Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
the HD2 is a fun toy when compared to the sensation, believe me i loved mine, had to sell it, and now im getting another one just to use as a PDA

will be running NAND sense3.0 (but prolly flashing a new one every week :P), SD build honeycomb and ubuntu 10.10 off sd thru nandroid

but in this day, its just a toy that set A LOT of standards for the devs/users here
[HTC Sensation] Tidbits:
WP7 on a non licensed device WILL cause legal issues. Good luck on your endeavours.
[HTC Sensation] freakzone:
I'm not very good with all that legal stuff, but do you think that the case with the HD2 is similar. It is licensed for winmo 6.5 but not for 7, however it gets mo 7 and there aren't any legal issues. Shouldn't the case be the same for say an android device.

I mean isn't it like if I buy a laptop with win xp and then I get win 7 from my friend's laptop and install it (theoretically), it would still be piracy . I would be licensed for win xp but not for win 7?
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Not at all. You can buy the license for Windows 7 and install it, can't buy WP7.
[HTC Sensation] freakzone:
Yes, the point is that with the HD2 you buy winmo 6.5 licence and not winmo 7, as soon as you install winmo 7 without buying it (not that you can, but theoretically) you're still a pirate.

I don't think that the dev community is interested in that anyway.

What about ubuntu linux then? Can we have that?
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Open source is legal.
[HTC Sensation] Tidbits:
Yes they are similar. You are licensed to use one one thing on a specific device and if you don't purchase a new license for the newer Windows then you are pirating.

For Ubuntu that's a different type of licensing altogether. Its open source and you have the rights to modify the code to make it work and in return you have to contribute the code.
[HTC Sensation] freakzone:
I understand the difference between open/proprietary source code and the fact that you need to pay for an os/software.

There are a lot of linux distros which are paid.

Imo there is not much difference between running wp7 on a hd2 or on a sensation. Both ways it is supposedly illegal, however the HD2 users get away with it easily.

If you guys remember when Da_g was posting the latest builds of winmo, some of them were taken down because of a request from microsoft. Nothing happened except for the removal of some links from the site.

So to the point, lets say that someone can supposedly buy a copy of winmo 7, then what?

My desktop experience would lead me to believe I need a virtual machine. The dual-core sensation should be enough to run it. Then a lot of stuff will not be working, such as phone, wifi, bt and a whole lot more but we need to start somewhere :D. That's how they started porting android to winmo devices - nothing was working in the begining :D
[HTC Sensation] Tidbits:
Ubuntu for example is Open Source and anything you pay for is technical support. DBM is rewritten beyond that of GPL which you have to license to use(See OSX vs. Hakitosh). Hakintosh lost not because Apple is a large company. They lost because they broke the licensing agreement and distributed perprietary code.

So yes it is wrong to distribute certain types of Linux distros. Yes it is wrong to port Windows phone 7 to another device that isn't licensed for it. It's one of the reasons Android is popular. Their only downfall will be fragmentation and getting companies like MS, Sony, Blizzard, etc to develop their popular software for it.
[HTC Sensation] BSAKSOUK:
Win7 was ported very easily to HTC HD2 because of other Win7 Phones that are extremely similar to the HD2 (Ex: HD7).

So if HTC releases a Win7 Phone that is very similar to the Sensation, then there will be hope of porting Win7 to the Sensation.

I personally would love to see Mango on the Sensation. Win7 has potential.

However, there will be issues. You will not have access to the marketplace (No apps ) nor to Windows live services. There are ways around it, but are not usually easy or convenient.
[Off-topic] themoebius:
Hey all,

Something has been rolling around in my head the past couple days, and I wanted to get some opinions.

Here's the basic notion: We might be too hard on noobs. :eek:

Now a couple of disclaimers...

1. Nothing excuses anyone from searching or doing their due diligence. I've seen more duplicate threads than I can recount, and yes it's annoying.

2. Nothing excuses anyone from etiquette. Being polite and courteous when asking for and receiving help is essential and is perfectly reasonable to expect.

That being said, here is where I think we take the same rules we expect noobs to adhere to, and break them ourselves. First of all, this community EXISTS to foster communication, education, and provide tools to enhance the products we all love. Anyone who says anything less is quite frankly selling XDA short. As such, and as cheesy as it may sound, XDA is a "beacon of hope" to those looking for help amidst the soup of lesser websites online. Before I knew anything, I knew about XDA, and slowly but surely I came to know more. But in my time here, and it seems like "more and more", I have also come to see noobs get increasingly hassled, berated, and outright knee-capped for asking duplicate questions, posting in the wrong forums, not searching for common questions, etc... Now by all means if we see a noob doing these things, TELL THEM, but do so in a manner befitting the community.

Not long ago I read a noob-ish thread, at this point I don't even remember what made it so, but I remember the reactions. The FIRST response was polite, it notified the OP of the infraction, but pointed him in the right direction with a friendly approach. The next FIVE responses were nothing short of hostile... "Learn to effing search noob, READ the damn stickies moron, Gawd another noob who doesn't know how to read!" etc... ONE guy replied rudely, and 4-5 more jumped on the bandwagon as if "Insulting Noob" was an Olympic sport and judging was imminent... each trying to 1-up the last. Personally, I was disgusted.

My point is this... as "good" as it may make some folks here to rip a noob a new one before breakfast and prove to the world just how big your e-d**k is, it does little to move us forward, and personally if I had received such a response as a noob, I doubt I would have come back. I just think maybe we need to ease off on the bashing, and bone up on our "polite education". We were all there at some point after all. ;)

[Off-topic] Dirk:
There's nothing wrong with being hard on n00bs as long as it's in a constructive and polite fashion. Being rude to one just because they're repeating a question that's been asked before isn't the way to handle it though.

Question:

"How do i root my HTC XXX..."

Acceptable answer:

"This has been asked many times. Please use the Search function or have a look in the device specific forum where you'll get better information."

Unacceptable answer:

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....this has been asked before you noob. Are you too f****n stupid to do a search??!!??11 Get off my forum you scum sucking leach..."

Hope that clarifies my point :D
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Some of the sentiments on the "unacceptable answer" stems from frustration. I, for one, have for many months shun away from the dev sections simply because of the sheer noob overload.

Most of these peeps simply don't bother to search, and in my opinion, are just too impolite. They come in, make a new topic (first infraction), ask repeated questions (2nd) in the wrong section (3rd) in a very impolite manner (4th, and greatest) with wrong grammar and jumbled up sentences (5th, and hopefully last infraction).

If the n00b would just be POLITE and legible, and use the magic word (please), I would forgive most of the infractions and gladly point out the right thing to do. I might even do a search for them.

So it's not really a community thing that we treat new users like FNG, but here, in this hallowed grounds, I would expect that these new users show some modicum of respect towards the people who turn mundane gadgets into something awesome.

And yes, I get disproportionately angry and respond accordingly whenever I see a dev or a mod get bashed (er... if I did that before, please forgive me :D) and I always appreciate their efforts, whatever it may be.

[Off-topic] DaNaRkI:
I donno, maybe not hard enough... The more I get involved in the community for my phone, as well as read on XDA in general, the more I start to think some kinda test should be involved.

Tho this might sound like much, I'm starting to think that a minimum post number should be needed just to be able to view the development sections for phones (and 10 is not enough). Or something to help them get better acquainted with the process for finding info here.

Then something more (maybe a minimum thanks meter value?) to show that they have enough understanding to be able to troubleshoot their devices before actually having access to the files that may cause issues, and subsequently post about them.

I'm aware it would be hard to implement and maintain, but it would clear away a lot the "junk" that covers the forums. Plus who ever said XDA is a place for everyone and their grandmother? Some of the stuff on here boarders on illegal, and the majority is well outside what the carriers/manufacturer want us doing with these devices.

Now on a different (possibly more in tune with the OP's initial thoughts) note. Yes, I'ed have to say some people, and in an increasing number, are very

harsh

on "noobs." Of which none is called for... The way I handle a situation as sakai4eva outlined is largely to ignore the person, so that they get the impression that what they have posted is not worth reading. If persistant then I would explain in as few words as possible what they have done wrong and why their post is getting ignored. Bashing and/or flaming only gives them a notion that they can also post that way, which creates even more obnoxious posts/topics. It's well know and overly demonstrated in forums (and any other place ppl can freely/easily post) all over the internet - that people will be mean, harsh, aggressive, and vulgar on the internet because they are not dealing with a person face to face.

I recently flashed my desIre hd with vIrtous unIty, I realIsed I should also flash the recommended radIo, should I do It? or should I keep my current default radIo on desire hd?

Also, if I want to get my warranty back from HTC, obviously I have to unroot, by doing this, will it enable radio s-off to s-on and eng s-off to s-on automatically by default or do I have to do it manually?

Finally, if I do flash the recommended radio for the virtous rom, when unrooting, do I have to flash my old radio back manually again? If yes, where can I find my current radio version?

note: I currently DON'T have any problems with any radio problems with my current radio, should I still flash the recommended radio image provided with the virtuous sense rom? And please answer all questions. Thanks a lot.

Is there a way to make the user agent string stick so we don't have to keep changing it back after a reboot or closing the browser completely?

This and the fact there's no way to go directly to my home page using menu just sucks.
